Captain Morris Harris, OF the LIST cavalry, Z. s.
A., and acting superintendent OF the Yellowstone
National Park In his annual report TO the Secre-
tary OF the Interior, states that In the
early part OF last winter such precautions
were adopted by sending out scouting parties
that the slaughter OF the game was very slight
Work on the roads WAS resumed early In the
spring, and by the 18th OF June. when the hotels
OF the Park Association opened for the reception
OF guestA the roads were In q good condition for
travel Scouting parties were located at the DIFF
ferent basins and stations, and rules were issued
liking the duties OF the troops charged with
THE PROTECTION OF rHE PARK
On the evening OF July one OF the stages OF
the Park Association was stopped o short distance
within the park limits and the passengers robbed
OF small sum OF money. In the first part OF July
large number OF professional tramps and hard
towns along the Northern Pacific by the authori-
ties, made their way TO the park They were
promptly taken IN charge and waived on, but i is
advance guard OF this army OF tramps. The vol.
ume OF travel TO the park during the present sea-
which. the report states, may In a great measure
be the effect or recent legislation with reference TO
railroad transportation rather than any loss OF
people:
private individuals from passengers crossing the
bridge over the Yellowstone River at the entrance
TO the Park, and also TO the location OF a uouor
saloon within, what Is believed TO be- the PARK
limits He asks that the Department take some
action. The report states that the hotel accom-
mOdattons In the park are adequate and sufficient
IL renews the recommendation for the construc-
ton OF new road from the upper Geyser basin,
making detour through the park. capt. Harris
objects TO the proposed change In the boundaries
OF the park, manly because II would bring Il
nearer 10 the influences OF a frontier town. He
urges an accurate survey OF the present boundaries
Temporary buildings have been erected at the
Mammoth Hot Springs for the use OF the sixty
four soldiers comprising the guard Of the park.
He recommends that the force be increased by Two
scouts and one company OF infantry during the
tourist season.
Capt. Harris thinks herds OF several hundred elk
wintered in the Park last winter. The number OF
bufIaloeS In the Park he thinks does not exceed
one hundred. Large numbers OF antelope are
found, and mountain sheep In all the mountain
ranges OF the Park. The report refers
TO the partial success only OF preventing
tourists from defacing the park by writing their
names where they can. Capt. Harris thinks that
nothing less than the arrest OF the offenders and
the expulsion from the park Will put stop 10 this
practice.
THE EsTlMATEs
The estimates OF money needed are as follows:
$l30, 900 for construction OF roads and bridges,
1000 for the care ana preservation OF the park,
5000 for the settlement or the bridge question
above referred TO, and $4,000 for surveying and
marking the boundary lines; total sl45, 900.

conditions of hatching and gives attention
to the work. A child cannot manage an
incubator. nor even . sitting hen. as
neither is child's work. Some intelli-
gence is required. aud the person operating
must be thoughtful, and mast not depend
upon the incubator. An engine will run
the belts for vast machinery, but the engi-
neer must be at bis post. for it is he who
directs the power and controls it. If he
fails TO keep up the supply of fuel the
steam will cease to generate, and the en-
CINE will stop. So with the incubator. 1t
may be contrived to perform certain
v ork, but that work is done under supervis-
ion. Nor is it necessary that an incubator
should be expensive. In proportion to the
service they render they are really very
cheap, as one of large capacity will
hatch enough chicks at one time to pay
back the sum required for its purchase.
That they are successful may be easily
shown. We know ola great many poultry
farms upon which incubators are used in
preference to hens. and with the best re-.
suits, but, as a rule, beginners should
first try the small sizes, and not endeavor
to commence with hatchers holding 1000
eggs, only to become disguised. The in
cubltor manufacturers themselves injure
their goods by inducing novices to under
take too much. We advise our readers to
first procure a small incubator. give it
faithful work. endeavor to learn it
thoroughly, and they will then be better
prepared to undertake more.-Farns and
Garden.

1t makes a practical, working farmer
feel quite satisfied to once in a while CLEAN
a few grams of common sense from the
writings of our learned and scientific ag
riculturists. A case in point occurs at this
moment. Prof. Sanborn. Prot. Atwater
and other prominent agricultural chemists
have been giving much time to an ex-
animation of the ratio of digestibility in
certain provender fed to our domestic ami
mails, as corn meal. cotton seed, oil cake
etc. This study is of course useful and
highly interesting, and results obtained
therefrom ought to be of much value to
farmers. But Sir John Lawes, who is
the most celebrated agricultural chemist
in England, says, in reference to these
experiments and to the formulated feed
raiions published by certain agricultural
chemists. that "a nutritive ratio is very
good in theory, but in practice we have to
consider questions of economy which are
often greatly at variance with theory
Now is there an intelligent farmer among
all our readers who does not admire
the common sense of this state
mentp But further, this same great
authority says. 81 do not consider that a
practical farmer is bound to feed his stock
with diet made upon a scientifically
arranged nutritive ratio" More good
sense. But best of all is the statemen,
that the question of economy must in
fuence the farmer as to what feeding stuff
he will use If, as between cotton seeC
and corn meal. Sir John Lawes tells u.
that one was dear and the other cheap. ht
would say to farmer. 'don't hesitate {
moment as to which you will feed"

Select the Breeding Animals.

Gull the farm stock of every kind and
description. For breeding purposes Gull
it severely. Note closely the produce of
every mare, COW, eve, SOW and even the
hen. Weed out the runts. Do not save
them, not even to allow others to breed
to, no matter what they will pay for them.
Immediate gam may be tempting, but
ultimate loss is inevitable. Use the knife
freely. Good butchers meat always sells
we'll. poor breeding. stock seldom does.

feeding tends to wear out our dairy cows.

doubledsthe size of the udder. These
cows we're kept till IS and 20 years old

The only reply to this question is yes
but it depends upon who operates them,
and how they are operated. It is a very

The object OF all scientific experiments
in agriculture should be to evolve better
and more remunerative practice upon the
farm; and our agricultural teachers and
professors should never lose sight of this
application of their scientific deductions.
But there are some things in science hard
to reconcile with practice. Chemists tell
us that roots, ruta-bagas, mangolds, ETC.,
are about ninety per cent. water, and in
consequence that their nutri.ive value
must be very low. Now we are not much
of chemist, but thoroughly believe that
the water of roets holds in solution
valuable nutrtive elements which the
finest methods OF the laboratory fail to de-
tect-else how could roots form SO
valuable fattening ration for our
domestic animals as all farmers know they
dop The animal itself is better Judge of
the value of feeding sub
stance than the most accurate
chemist. We once heard the Hon. Harris
Lewis, when President of the New York
State Agricultural Society. say in a public
meeting, that he "should have fed his
cows on formulated nutritive ration till
they starved to death. if his cows had not
known more than he did," And we are
so obstinate as to believe that generally
animals are better chemists than our ag-
ricultural professors!

Clover has been called "a trap for
catching nitrogen" as it collects and
stores up for the use of other crops large
quantities OF combined nitrogen in form
ready to nourish growing crops. 1t is
one OF the most useful plants of the
farm and should be more largely grown.
